A lighthouse was built in Bristol, Rhode Island, in 1855, on the west side of a busy strait, taking the form of a small brick dwelling with a lighthouse tower attached to its southern end. The lighthouse’s days as an aid to navigation ended with the construction of the Mount Hope Bridge in 1929, almost directly over the lighthouse. The property passed into private ownership.
Today, the lighthouse is owned by Simon and Laura Thomas and managed as an inn, with bookings available through AirbnB and Vrbo. Simon and Laura are interviewed in this episode along with Rhode Island marine photographer Matthew Cohen.
